A heavy, compact sans with blunt terminals and softly squared curves. The outlines show deliberate irregularity—slightly wavy edges and uneven inner counters—creating a printed or stamped texture rather than a pristine digital finish. Curves are generally round but tightened, with squarish bowls in letters like O/C and sturdy, rectangular-ish apertures throughout. Spacing is straightforward and the overall rhythm is dense and steady, favoring blocky silhouettes and strong color on the page.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where the textured weight can be appreciated: posters, packaging, product labels, and bold editorial heads. It also works well for signage or UI moments that need a rugged, industrial voice, especially at larger sizes where the distressed edges remain clear rather than filling in.
The font reads as tough and practical, with a worn, tactile feel that suggests ink spread, letterpress, or stenciled labeling. Its no-nonsense shapes give it a workmanlike, industrial tone, while the distress adds personality and a vintage, handmade edge.
The design appears intended to deliver strong impact with a deliberately imperfect surface, echoing practical printing and marking methods. It prioritizes sturdy silhouettes and fast recognition, adding controlled roughness to avoid a sterile, geometric look.
Capitals are broad and emphatic, and the lowercase maintains a simple, single-storey feel (notably a and g) that reinforces the plainspoken character. Numerals match the same stout proportions and rounded-rectangle construction, keeping the set visually consistent across alphanumerics.
